hi ernie!

afaik the yoke will fit '68-'71 t14s ['72-6 have a tf904 spline], but
the t14 is ~2" shorter than the non-o/d t96.  if you had a non-big-nut
rear, the driveshaft from a '68-'70 232 american or javelin [they had
t14s] would fit.  also, if you had an o/d t14, i've been told they're
the same length as the o/d t96.

so your driveshaft will need to be lengthened.  and if your car is
presently geared for an o/d [3.31 rear?  3.58?] you may also want a
3.08 or 2.73.

just fwiw, i put a '76 t14 into my '68 american using the original
driveshaft and a 'long' [7"?] early-'70s yoke.  problem free so far,
50k+ miles.  and btw if anyone wants it, it's up for adoption, ftgh.
